"Cynthia Cannon Poindexter has taken that "baton" and has given usa remarkable edited volume that contains much information on HIVthat every professional social worker needs to know in order topractice competently in today's complex world. Certainly, for thesocial worker committed to HIV social work practice as a specialtyarea, this volume is a "must have" for one's professional library.I believe it will be the leading work that guides our work in thiscountry at least for the next five to ten years. This handbookbuilds a critical inter-generational bridge by linking tomorrow'sleaders in HIV social work practice, policy, education, andresearch with those mentors who are rich with many years ofpractice wisdom.

Clearly, debate in the United Statesneeds direction to alter the policies and practices that drivenational responses to the most crucial disease of our time.
